Convention Highlights

It's hard to know where to begin with Convention highlights!  This Convention proved to be the best Stampin' Up! event ever held!  I learned so much from the Stampin' Up! home office--terrific stamping idea as well as valuable business information.  But one of the biggest highlights for me was spending time with some women on my Stampin' Up! team, The Heartfelt Stampers. 

Five of us traveled to Salt Lake City, UT.  We weren't all able to be on the same flights or in the same hotel, but we met up as often as possible throughout the week.  Here are some of my favorite pictures:

 

Here we are, from left to right, myself, Christine Luce, Tina Newton and Jen Rios-Raner.  You can see the Convention logo in the back.

 

Aly Schilling (team leader and my daughter!) and her family, Brad and Landon, couldn't be with us during much of Convention.  Aly was on the Advisory Board this year and had lots of commitments, including being honored at the Awards Night.

The wonderfully creative people at Stampin' Up! had lots of room displays for us to look at.  Here's a great one with a Halloween theme.  Lots of uses for all our terrific products! 

 

Our new line of Definitely Decorative Decor Stencils, combined with the Decor Elements, makes home decorating projects a breeze.  Look at all the embellished items in this room! 

 

To kick off a brand new campaign, I was able to purchase this adorable Stampin' Up! Build-A-Bear at the Memento Mall.  Isn't she sweet with the Melon Mambo Polka Dot bow in her hair, stamp in her hand and the Stampin' Up! logo on her paw!  And the little demonstrator apron is just too much!

Stampin' Up! has teamed up with the Build-A-Bear Workshop to bring you an exciting and exclusive collection of products you and the children in your life will enjoy.  There are stamp sets, designer series paper and dies for the Big Shot, all combining to give you lots of options!  This line is coming soon--check it out in the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog due out on September 1st!

 

This is just a small sampling of what we're treated to at the Gathering Place.  There are literally thousands of card samples from all our wonderful demonstrators posted for inspiration.  I was busy taking hundreds of pictures so that I could bring home fabulous ideas for all my terrific customers!  It was so exciting when I found 2 of my very own cards displayed here!

 

Shelli Gardner, co-founder of Stampin' Up!, had a fabulous presentation on gift giving.  Each one of these boxes contained numerous handmade gifts, all using Stampin' Up! products!  What a treat!

That's it for now!  Check back for more on Convention surprises!

Diva Day 2009

First, can I just say that I have the most awesome upline ever!  Well, she is my daughter, but beyond that, she is the most supportive Stampin' Up! "cheerleader" for all of those on The Heartfelt Stampers team of demonstrator!  Last Friday, we celebrated this past year's achievements with a fabulous day, prepared by Aly Schilling, for those with top sales and top recruiting for the past Stampin' Up! year.  I was fortunate enough to earn first place in recruiting and second place in sales!  Here are some highlights:

 

We were first treated to a fun and delicious traditional Japanese hibachi lunch at Sakura's Japanese Restaurant in Pittsford NY.

 

Of course, Aly had stamped us these darling favors that were waiting for us at our place settings.  Do you recognize some of our new products?  The tag on the fan was cut out of our new wood sheets with the new Two Tags Bigz Die.  And she used our yummy new 1-14" striped grosgrain in black and white to tie it off.

 

The cooking was done at a hibachi table right in front of us.  It was very entertaining, as the chef juggled knives and created fire blasts.

 

We stopped for a photo op in the foyer.  Pictured here are Aly Schilling (front), Jen Rios-Raner, Christine Luce and myself.

 

Then it was on to Aly's back yard, where she had set up this beautifully decorated tent for an afternoon of tea, Japanese snacks, fellowship and of course, stamping!

 

We each had a special place setting using Melon Mambo paper stamped down the side with a stamp from Asian Artistry stamp set, a Level 2 hostess set.  Our keepsake is a bamboo plant with a nice metal plaque on the front that says The Heartfelt Stampers Diva Day 2009 and our name.  There were even Japanese candies embellished with Stampin' Up! touches.

 

And I'm sure you're wondering what our project for the day was!  Here it is--isn't it gorgeous!?!  We each made this beautiful framed memento of the day using embossed stamps and final touches with Decor Elements on the glass.  A picture of the day will go on the white space.

Thank you, Aly, for this very special day!  You are awesome!  Wouldn't you want to be on a team of demonstrators who are so well cared for and have so much fun?  Check out the Demonstrator Starter Kit Special HERE, and contact me to see how fun and easy owning your own Stampin' Up! business really is!
